The dashboard is an effective tool for collecting climate data, comparing it to industry standards, providing informative reports to the board, and fulfilling disclosure requirements.
Diligent, a company that provides software solutions for governance, risk, compliance, audit, and ESG, has launched Board Reporting for ESG, a new board dashboard that integrates performance data with market intelligence to offer a comprehensive view of an organization’s ESG posture.
The dashboard can be customized to capture an organization’s climate and other ESG data, allowing sustainability professionals to focus on the most relevant information and deliver reports in an easily understandable format for executive management and company directors.
The dashboard simplifies climate reporting, provides the necessary information for executives and board members to make informed decisions, and streamlines data collection for sustainability professionals. Key features include reporting dashboards designed to highlight the relationship between company performance and stakeholder perception, progress against carbon targets, peer benchmark disclosures, and ESG scores benchmarked against industry averages.
Diligent also provides best practices and training materials on presenting to the board and access to Climate Leadership and ESG Leadership certifications.
“The SEC is pushing on boards to have quality oversight with depth of knowledge and you can’t just be a generalist, you have to go get yourself educated and that’s where Diligent can help directors,” said Catherine Lego, board director at Cirrus Logic and Guidewire Software.
